I must admit that i havent been bothered to fully explore the longer posts made by Messers Fingolfin and Underhill but I just thought of something (I hope this hasnt been covered before) Just before we start I will admit that I am probably pro-wings, having not really thought about it before i just had in my mind the wings. My thought centres on the Maia nature of the Balrogs. Is it at all possible that they both do and do not have wings? WHat i mean is that could they not have some sort of shape-shifting ability with which they can assume the power of flight with wings or something. As such most times they would not appear with wings, but when required a set could materialize? I dont know that I am saying this well but what thinkest y'all?

(Once agin I hope this is a new idea and I havent bored everyone!) <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
